The uncle in the picture above has been rearing fish all his life. Together with his brother, they run a fish farm in the Seletar area.
However, their business, as well as their livelihood, will soon be no more.
According to folks who contacted Mothership.sg, the government is taking back the fish farm's land to make room for a new development.
The two men will have to vacate their farm's premises in Seletar by mid-November.
Previously, they'd moved their fish farm from Pasir Ris to Seletar, due to the authorities' repossession of the land at the former location. With the latest land repossession by the authorities, however, the brothers will be winding up their business because they have insufficient resources to relocate, according to Facebook user Bjorn Wong:
In the meantime, though, they've got plenty of ornamental fish to let go of cheaply.
Here's where the farm is located:
And here are some pics of what the farm looks like:
You can get high-fin guppies like these for 50 cents:
As well as these blue rams for $5 each:
It's a clearance sale of their fish, after which it appears the two uncles will retire.
We've also been told that a breeding pair of albino guppies costs $15, while a German Ram costs $8.
So if you have always wanted to look after pretty fish, now's your chance to get your hands on some affordably — but of course, make sure you know how to take care of them first.
